Götz Alsmann - Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen

Review by Natasha Fynn

The album Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen by Götz Alsmann is a delightful musical journey around the world. The album features Alsmann's signature blend of jazz, swing, and pop, as well as a range of international influences, from Latin rhythms to Indian melodies.

The album is a tribute to Jules Verne's classic novel, Around the World in 80 Days, and Alsmann's musical interpretation captures the sense of adventure and excitement of a global journey. The album includes original compositions as well as covers of classic songs, all of which are infused with Alsmann's unique style and playful energy.

One standout track is "Die Reise beginnt" (The Journey Begins), which sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Another highlight is "Eine Nacht in Shanghai" (A Night in Shanghai), which features a sultry saxophone solo and evokes the glamour and mystery of the city.

Summary by Natasha Fynn

Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen is a vibrant and joyful album that showcases Alsmann's talents as a musician and arranger. It is a must-listen for fans of jazz and world music, as well as anyone who loves a good adventure.
